Thanks. From reading a lot of the draft sites out there, I've found my preference, cbssportsline.com and I go to their player rankings. They give a great breakdown of each prospect and grades them like I would think a scout does. They had clemons at like #130 or something. Looked like a great value at a position of need.

If you go down to the bottom of the prospect page and select "show all", you have a list of 700 or so prospects, with tones of info on each.

If you want me to email you the spreadsheet I derived off of yours, I will.

Yall have 5 days to finish! :P Great job again. I am surprised to see yall finishing the 7th. Dedication.

I really like the Clemons pick shaft!

The Pittsburgh Steelers select Ryan Purvis, TE, Boston College. Just way too much value to pass up in the 7th round.

Someone should start another mock. Let's see if we can finish another 7 rounds in 5 days! JOKING

Seriously though, should we start a draft grade thread???

I think when we do do that... we should have each team with their corresponding players listed, then during/after the Draft... we should put where the player was really selected. That would be interesting! And MAY help with the grades.

With the 211th pick in the NFL draft the NY Jets select Dan Gronkowski TE Maryland.

Gronkowski is a great blockin TE and will make a great bookend to Dustin Keller.

He has 4.70 40 speed which is good enough to get open & be a saftey valve for Clemens.

At 6'6 & 255lbs Gronkowski will also be an attractive red zone target for Clemens.

Blocking is his forte. He is ued to playing with his hand in the dirt, unlike alot of spread attack TE's.

Players considered

Rylan Reed- He's going to overcome his injuries and be a steal for someone.
John Phillips- A goood blocker with good hands. Not as good a blocker as Gronkowski. followed in Heath Millers shoes at Virginia.

I was about to say that too. Has anyone hit up cbssportsline yet? I think I'm officially addicted to it.

With the 213th overall pick, the Eagle select...

Edwin Williams - C

At 6'3" 315-Lbs, Williams is a big Center who could also play Guard at the next level and adds depth to the OL. Played at Maryland which has a strong conditioning and training program and is IMO the BPA.

I've been using it the whole time. It's great having all those prospects to rank and compare. I used their top 200 in a spreadsheet to keep track of who had been picked.

Alot of you guys might not know who this guy is. 6'6", 305 lbs, he is a perfect 3-4 end. Runs in the 4.9 range, had 62 tackles, 11.5 behind the lines, and 6.5 sacks. Great fit for the Patriots, and provides depth for the DLine.

Never be afraid to waste a 7th on a guy from Northern Iowa. Those guys can play some ball and they got some really good coaches up there.

I really like Pendescleaux. Great size, athleticism, he plays hard. He is versatile too, I like him as a 4-3 DT as well.

Do I have a real F'n crappy draft or something? I can only recall Coffee getting any love. If I have messed up let me know I am very curious to see what people think of my selections cause of the amount of research on the first four rounds and luck in the 7th.

You did fine ... you addressed their needs while not reaching which gives you value .

You did a good job. The only player I dont like is Mickens. But other than that good draft man. And yes, Coffee in the 7th is great value.

Should we start a different thread or use this same one and have each team's selections (as some you see above). Then after the draft we can put the # of the pick they were actually selected. That'd be interesting!

Obviously, I like the E Brown pick in the first. I like him more as a 4-3 end than a 3-4 OLB (opposite of most) but I know he is a game changing type of player so I love the pick.

I don't know anything about Meredith.

I like Mickens at 74. Two solid defensive players at this point.

I haven't seen Bomar play since Oklahoma, just highlights and all-star kind of game action. I like the idea if it works out, but I can't really comment on the specific player.

I think Richard is a good player, but I think you reached on him. I like Vance Walker more, but I still think Richard is a good player. Maybe reached on him IMO.

Don't know anything about Brewster.

Great pick with Coffee, excellent value.

Drum Roll please.....

And with the 224th pick and to conclude the 2009 Texans Talk Member Mock Draft,
the Pittsburgh Steelers make Michael Mitchell, Safety from Ohio the newest Mr. Irrelevant.

I saw this one coming.

I was gonna call it but didn't want to jinx it.

Why not take a shot on him in the 7th? Good pick.

LOL, yea. Sounds like he's more of a strong safety but on the Steelers there's no rush in getting him in. Has tremendous athletecism so it's worth it and let him learn behind Palomalu.

Actually, as GM, I knew we would be trading Troy to the Texans in a couple years, just when Mitchell is ready to take over and become a star.

Houston Texans Mock:
#15 OLB Brian Cushing - I would have traded down, but still IMO a good sam LB prospect
#46 FS Louis Delmas - Love this guys tenacity, best safety in the draft @46
#77 DE Lawrence Sidbury - Pass rushing specialist
#108 DT Terrence Taylor - a bit of a reach for need I'll admit
#118 CB Kevin Barnes - Good value I think. Just needs to stay healthy
#144 RB Javon Ringer - What a 3rd string rb.
#175 OG Greg Isander - Nice depth for our Oline
#206 SS Chris Clemons - SS that can cover and will excel in special teams.
Good draft Shaft. Tough being the hometown GM. Good to keep in mind we started this so long ago too!

Handpicking after the draft, I wouldn't be upset with this:
1. Jeremy Maclin- Not going to be a popular pick with yall but I think he's BPA and would see the field a lot as a 3rd WR and as our PR.
2. Robert Ayers- too good to pass up. Alternate with Smith and would replace him on passing downs when smith bumps inside
3. Rashad Jennings- Big powerful RB to pair with slaton
4. Sherrod Martin- versatile DB to play CB/FS
4. Bradley Fletcher- tall CB to groom.
5. Nic Harris- OLB/S tweener, I think we'd have him as WLB depth
6. Greg Isdander- gotta get some OL depth
7. Michael Mitchell- athletic SS to be a part of the mix. Clemons was a good pick too though.

So we get a WR/PR, OG and RB on offense.
Get a complete DE, WLB, and 3 DB's for the defense.

As far as I'm concerned....most excellent effort. I love Mathews and Orakpo. But a draft like this I could live with. Hit all of the needs.....Sidbury rotating with Antonio Smith would push our sack total way past 25. Couple of years from now....if he can stand up....he could develop into the best defender on the team. Yes and that includes Mario. It's a gamble for sure. But we're not going to win anything playing it safe with every pick. Gotta gamble you hit special talent on the day two guys if we're going to the super bowl and win it.

*I didn't like the Duke Robinson pick when I made it and don't like it now. I should have went Eric Wood which I was really close to doing.
*Gilbert is about an even pick
*Cadogan, Parson, Johnson went undrafted... ouch
*Purvis went undrafted but heck it's a 7th rounder
*Wallas was good value
*Michael Mitchell...steal of the Draft!! Raiders are silly

And to think I would have if Tampa didn't select Peria Jerry. :foottap:

After doing research as to where the newest Houston Texans were drafted in the mock, I found out that 3 of them were picked in the same round as the mock (Cushing, Barwin, Caldwell), one was picked a couple of rounds earlier (Casey), and half went undrafted (Hill, Grover, Mccain & Nolan).

rmartin65

04-27-2009, 06:57 PM

I drafted both Barwin and Casey for the Patriots...

I think only one of my guys, Pendescleaux, went UDFA.
